Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 212 How can I have such a wonderful team member?
For the Premier League championship match against Arsenal, Chen Ran not only threw out a huge championship bonus to motivate the players, but also sent all the main players.

And for a core player like Vieira, who has been playing continuously, Chen Ran quietly used the "Level [-] Recovery Card" for him.

On Arsenal's side, although they were robbed of the limelight by the Crystal Palace's 1000 million euro championship bonus, Chelsea did not take back the 400 million euro winning bonus.

Surprisingly, the FA did not express any opinion on Chelsea's behavior, as if this matter did not exist at all.

This time, everyone knew that the FA had acquiesced to Chelsea's behavior.

And the Arsenal players are naturally gearing up to win this huge bonus.

Now everyone knows that Arsenal is tight on money, and the salary of an Arsenal player is naturally not much higher.

Coupled with the poor performance of the team, the bonuses are pitifully small.The winning bonus provided by Chelsea is still very tempting for Arsenal up and down.

Seeing the high morale of his players, one by one scrambling to play, Wenger couldn't laugh or cry.

These guys are really realistic. If they were so full of fighting spirit earlier, wouldn't Arsenal even get a place in the Champions League next season?

Of course, Wenger will not stop things that make money, and he has also sent Arsenal's most capable lineup.

Although the game is nominally played at the home court of Crystal Palace, the Arsenal players at Highbury Stadium are much more familiar than the players of Crystal Palace.

Apart from a little more Crystal Palace fans who came to watch the game, the Arsenal players did not have any discomfort.

The two teams have played against each other many times and are already very familiar with each other.So there was no temptation. As soon as the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.

It is not for nothing that football games are hailed as peacetime wars.

There is still a big difference in combat effectiveness between a team that pursues a sense of honor and a team that is purely for making money.

This is especially evident at critical moments.

Arsenal have now lost hope of competing for the championship, or even the Champions League places, and there is no possibility of relegation. It can be said that they have no desires.

Without Chelsea's 400 million euro winning bonus incentive, Arsenal's players would certainly not work as hard as they do now.

However, this also makes today's Arsenal look like a mercenary fighting for money.

This point is reflected in the game, that is, whenever the players of both sides need to fight with each other, or even take the risk of injury, the first to back down will always be the Arsenal players.

The reason is simple, the season is coming to an end, and many of Arsenal's main players have begun to contact their next home, wanting to transfer and leave Arsenal.

After all, it is well-known that Arsenal is short of money now. If they stay here, they will neither see the hope of competing for the championship, nor can they get a high salary.

Money and honor, nothing, so who wants to stay here?

Therefore, at this critical moment, none of Arsenal's main players is willing to pay the price of injury to compete with the Crystal Palace players.

Chelsea's high winning bonus is good, but compared with their own transfer opportunities, it is not worth mentioning.

As a result, everyone discovered that Arsenal's players had carried it for less than 10 minutes at the beginning of the game, and the entire formation was pushed back into their own half by the Crystal Palace.

Wenger on the sidelines did not fail to notice the problem.But when he yelled a few times and found that it had no effect, he didn't bother to yell again, and simply returned to the bench and sat down.

"Boss, why don't you direct the game? Our current situation doesn't seem to be good."

Assistant coach Pat Rice whispered in Wenger's ear.

"Pat, it's useless, these guys are not thinking about Arsenal anymore."

Wenger, an old Jianghu, can think clearly about the thoughts of these Arsenal players on the field.

These guys are probably contacting the next family and want to transfer to Arsenal, so no one wants to be injured at this time.

If you don't want to get hurt, you will have some reservations about your movements.

If you have reservations about your actions, how can you grab the ball from the Crystal Palace players?
If you can't grab the ball, how can you win this game?

In this way, the game had only started for more than ten minutes, and Wenger had already foreseen the outcome of the game.

He knows very well that people's hearts are scattered and the team is not easy to lead. This is not a problem that he, the head coach, can solve.

On the other side, Chen Ran, who was also aware of the situation on the court, smiled slightly. There should be no problem in this game.

Hehe, Mourinho wants to use silver bullet tactics to stimulate Arsenal players, but unfortunately he didn't consider what these Arsenal players really want in their hearts.

He gets nothing but a farce.

Turning his head to look at the Arsenal bench not far away, Chen Ran found that Wenger no longer stood on the sidelines directing the game, but returned to the bench and sat down.

It seems that Wenger, an experienced veteran, is also a sensible person. He is too lazy to do useless work.

Now that Wenger had given up ahead of time, Chen Ran, who already knew the game well, decided to sit on the bench for a while.

After all, standing on the sidelines and watching the game is exhausting.

"Huh? Boss, why don't you continue directing the game?"

"Oh, Josep, go to the sidelines and help me keep an eye on the game. I'll take a break."

"Huh? Boss, this game is related to whether we can win the championship early."

"Don't worry, Josep, our Crystal Palace will definitely win this match!"

Patting Guardiola on the shoulder, Chen Ran went straight back to the bench, leaving Guardiola in a daze alone on the sidelines.

The progress of the game was almost completely in accordance with Chen Ran's plan.

After being pushed back to halftime by Crystal Palace, Arsenal never came out again.

No.308 minutes, Franck Ribery on the right broke through and made a pass. Toni in the middle outflanked the shot and was saved by Lehmann.

As a result, the ball did not fly far and landed at the feet of Modric outside the penalty area. Modric made a good volley. Lehmann was unable to make a save and the ball flew into Arsenal's goal.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace lead Arsenal 1-0.

During the intermission, neither Chen Ran nor Wenger made substitution adjustments.

Two minutes into No.60 in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left staged a solo breakthrough. After passing Hleb, Lauren and Kolo Toure in a row, he shot again and broke through again. The Arsenal goal guarded by Lehmann.

"GOAL!"

Crystal Palace lead Arsenal 2-0.

At this time, Wenger couldn't sit still.

It's okay to lose, but you can't lose too much. After all, he is also the top coach in English football, so he needs to save face.

However, Wenger did not choose to increase defensive players, but instead adjusted the offensive players.

He replaced Bergkamp with Van Persie and Pires with Reyes.

Wenger thought very clearly, it is of course good to win this game, but it doesn't matter if you lose.Then it's better to give it a go and fight the Crystal Palace to the end, maybe there will be surprises, but it may not be necessarily.

Arsenal's substitution action immediately attracted Guardiola's attention.

"Boss, Arsenal's substitution is to continue to attack."

"Well, a two-goal lead is almost the same. Josep, you go and inform Mascherano and Evra to warm up, and then replace Modric and Toni with them."

"Javier Mascherano with Vieira and Yaya Toure in the back three, Evra replaces Ronaldo as left-midfielder, then puts Ronaldo up front as a lone striker. The team shrinks and now they start playing defensively. Fight back."

"clear."

For Chen Ran's routine, both Guardiola and the Crystal Palace players have long been used to it.

Soon, Crystal Palace completed a series of substitutions and changes.

Taking advantage of the interval between substitutions, Chen Ran called Ronaldo to the sidelines again.

"Chris, you can play as a lone forward in a while, and I will give you the freedom to fire. You can play as you want, understand?"

"Okay, boss. But, I won't have another downturn for three consecutive games like last time, will I?"

If it was before, Ronaldo would be very happy when he heard that Chen Ran gave him the right to fire freely.

But since Chen Ran trained Ronaldo with the "Level [-] Chicken Blood Card" last time, Ronaldo now has some taboos about the right to fire freely.

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. According to my observation, with your current state, there will not be a downturn in your state for the time being. You can play at ease, I have everything."

"Okay, boss, I feel relieved with your words."

Looking at the relieved Ronaldo, Chen Ran patted him on the shoulder, thinking that this child was not limped by himself, right?

The active contraction of Crystal Palace gave Arsenal finally a chance to breathe.

But when they first wanted to press up and attack again, Ronaldo, who is now the single arrow, gave them another blow.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in very good form today, and he just scored a goal on a solo ride not long ago.Now after being transferred to play forward by Chen Ran, there are more opportunities for individuals to dribble and break through.

This time, when Ronaldo passed Hleb and Lauren again, Kolo Toure, who rushed to defend, decided that he could not let him pass anyway.

So, not far outside the penalty area, Kolo Toure brought Ronaldo down.While getting a yellow card, he also gave Crystal Palace a free kick in the frontcourt in a good position.

"Boss, I want to take this free kick!"

Ronaldo, who got up from the ground, rushed straight to Chen Ran on the sidelines under everyone's surprised eyes.

"you?"

Chen Ran also looked at Ronaldo in surprise. At this time, Ronaldo has not yet developed free kick skills.

"Yes, boss, didn't I just score a direct free kick last time. I have been practicing free kicks myself for a while. The position of the ball is good. I want to try again."

Hearing Ronaldo's words, Chen Ran also remembered that he used the "Free Kick Master Card" for Ronaldo last time, allowing Ronaldo to score a crucial free kick.

It seems that the free kick scored that time made Ronaldo interested in taking free kicks.

"Okay, then you go kick this ball and try to score another one."

Chen Ran readily agreed to Ronaldo's request.

Because Crystal Palace didn't have any outstanding free kick masters, the team's current first set kick kicker is Modric, but now Modric has been replaced, and Ribery usually takes the lead at this time penalty.

"Haha, thank you boss."

With Chen Ran's permission, Ronaldo ran back to the field excitedly and snatched the ball from Ribery.

"Frank, the boss has allowed me to take this free kick."

"Chris, what are you doing? I usually take free kicks when little Luka is not around."

"I know, that's why I went to ask the boss to take this free kick. If you don't believe me, ask the boss."

Hearing what Ronaldo said, and thinking that this guy did go to the sidelines to find Chen Ran just now, Ribery also believed that Ronaldo was telling the truth.

However, he is not a good stubble, and he doesn't like Ronaldo at all.

"It's a game now, how can I have so much time to ask the boss? I'll take the penalty for this ball, how about giving you the next one?"

Ribery smiled slyly and used a delaying tactic.

Ronaldo is not stupid, the next free kick may not necessarily have such a good position.

"Why don't we guess punches? The winner takes the free kick."

Ronaldo thought about it, and this scarred face didn't look easy to mess with, so he proposed a compromise.

When Ribery heard this, he felt that this method was not bad, so he nodded in agreement.

After all, he didn't want to fall out with Ronaldo for a free kick, and it was still with the boss's prior consent.

Next, a funny scene appeared on the field.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, Ronaldo and Franck Ribery stood next to the ball for three rounds of fierce boxing ceremony.

In the end, Ronaldo used his fist to the scissors, overpowering Ribery, and grabbed the right to take the free kick.

"Boss, what are the two of them doing?"

Guardiola on the sidelines was also dumbfounded. Are young people nowadays so good at playing?
"Uh, maybe it's guessing fists to decide who will take the free kick?"

Chen Ran also covered his face with his hands, as if he didn't know those two guys.

Damn, how could I have such a weird team member?
